[QUOTE="SSG Graybush, post: 2931667, member: 115190"] CRY ONCE, is the saying. Buying cheap optics, is just that, buying cheap optics. Don't forget companies like Vortex and Leupold give Mil/LE/FR discounts. Sport Optics dot com, I highly recommend, and they will give you the Vortex discount if applicable and free shipping. For deep woods deer hunting a 1.5x5 is a good choice, but harder for a non shooter to zero at 100 yards. A 3x9x40 is a good choice for close range to 500 yards. I don't recommend Athlon, have had to send back a Ares ETR and Midas BTR that wouldn't hold zero. Hawke and Riton are in the same quality range. I've also gotten 2 bad new SWFA scopes, but never had a good one go bad. I would recommend a Vortex or Leupold. And I recommend a mil or moa reticle over a bdc, get parallax adj/side focus, first focal plane, illumination. But if 100 yards is all you want to shoot a duplex will work in a second focal plane scope. [/QUOTE]
